tom waits - 2:19 lyrics
(tom waits and kathleen brennan)
i lost everything i had in the ’29 flood
the barn was buried ‘neath a mile of mud
now i’ve got nothing but the whistle and the steam
my baby’s leaving town on the 2: 19
i said, hey, hey, i don’t know what to do
i will remember you
hey, hey, i don’t know what to do
my baby’s leaving town on the 2: 19
now there’s a fellow that’s preaching ’bout h-ll and d-mnation
bouncing off the walls of the grand central station
i treated her bad, i treated her mean
baby’s leaving town on the 2: 19
i said, hey, hey, i will remember you
hey, hey, i don’t know what to do
hey, i don’t know what to do
my baby’s leaving town on the 2: 19
now i’ve always been puzzled by the yin and the yang
it’ll come out in the wash, but it always leaves a stain
sturm and drang, the l-ster and the sheen
my baby’s leaving town on the –
hey, hey, i don’t know what to do
hey, hey, i will remember you
hey, hey, i will remember you
my baby’s leaving town on the 2: 19
lost the baby with the water, and the preacher stole the bride
sent her out for a bottle, but when she came back inside
she didn’t have my whiskey, didn’t have my gin
with a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin
i said, hey, hey, i will remember you
yeah baby, i will remember you
my baby’s leaving town on the 2: 19
on the train you get smaller, as you get farther away
the roar covers everything you wanted to say
was that a raindrop or a tear in your eye?
were you drying your nails or waving goodbye?
hey, hey, i will remember you
hey, hey, i don’t know what to do
oh baby
my baby’s leaving town on the 2: 19
i will remember you
i don’t know what to do, baby
